What A Long Day
What2Say2Day? Okay, seems that today is turning out to be a very long day. Lots to do and running out of time to do it. I woke up at 5 am to go on a 2-Mile walk to bring awareness to hunger in Hawaii followed by trips to the pet store, drug store, big-box store and a haircut. Came home to have a late lunch then went outside to do some much needed yard maintenance. After all that i took a nap until I was awakened by the sound of a vacuum at which time I helped my wife finish cleaning the house and started the laundry. Whew! Now all I have left to do in this day is make a newsletter for the parents of the youth from my church and think of ideas on what we can do for Advent. But, as tired as I am and as sore as my body is I feel absolutely, positively, amazingly wonderful. I feel as though I can stand on the roof of my house and yell, "I got something accomplished today!" Days like these make me wonder if Jesus felt the same way whenever he had a very busy day. I would think for the most part the answer would be yes. The New Testament is filled with stories of a busy Jesus who, at the end of the day, finds some way to remind those around him that God is still working in their lives. I bet there were many a time when, after a hard day's work, he stood on the roof of a house (or maybe a mountain top) and yelled, "God loves you, therefore there is nothing you cannot do!" Let's all take a pledge to get busy and do something for others, or for yourself, or maybe we can find something to do for God.
